Replacing an old door knob with a new locking door knob. Holes and latch plate easing already fit new hardware, which did make it easier.

The locking mechanism stopped working on one of our exterior doors, so it wouldn't lock at all.

I installed a locking door knob in the bathroom. This required swapping the handles to make the levers point the correct direction, and some minor modification to the hole in the door.

Here is my submission for the Nest Aspect - Straw - Replace a Locking Door Knob BB.

I've arrived at Wheaton Labs for BB20 and one of the Library's doors needs a new locking doorknob so I took on the task.

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following:
  - before removing the door knob
  - during: old/broken latch mechanism in left hand and new / beefier hardware on table
  - during: installing latch mechanism
  - after installing a locking door knob

Replacing an old door knob and deadbolt with a new locking door knob.
I used existing holes in door so no drilling was necessary.
This was due to the door knob latch not functioning. So I went ahead and just replaced both while I was at it.

I don't know if this counts since this door doesn't have a knob, but it does lock. The handle on the outside broke a few months ago, so it was in desperate need of repair.
